Look forward to try to get hold of the 12 year old. I hope and believe that the extra years of maturing makes it wonderful!Larshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01200135796668780566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132110146005540973.post-76758462306473357632008-09-12T21:38:00.000+09:002008-09-12T21:38:00.000+09:00Interesting.

Some of them, absolutely certainly, will have got it right and researched it thoroughly. Others may not have.Nonjattanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132110146005540973.post-48602837214488187212008-09-12T20:17:00.000+09:002008-09-12T20:17:00.000+09:00Well, there are dozens of different kinds of plast...Well, there are dozens of different kinds of plastics but I'm sure they used inert ones. I'd say plastic is maybe less 'sexy' but maybe it's got better 'mechanical and chemical' properties. On the other hand, we've seen plastic caps on Scotch (like on Douglas Laing's little 20cl advance samples) that were terrible (huge evaporation, can't be kept).<BR/>Again, I'm sure the Japanese do it right, but I was wondering why they used plastic.<BR/>SantéSergenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132110146005540973.post-81096537003131131202008-09-12T16:47:00.000+09:002008-09-12T16:47:00.000+09:00I will ask that question.

Maybe a question to ask one of their good people one day?Sergenoreply@blogger.com
